PL965Melo Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Aircraft conversion: FSDS to GMax " 09-18-02, 02:01z  Hi Guys, I currently have a project in FSDS ver 1.6b (Flight Simulator Design Studio Pro) and want to upgrade it to GMax version 1.1 Does anyone know how the conversion is accomplished? I want to get the project into the new format even if it requires quite a bit of editing after conversion. I have heard that GMax will be the only Aircraft format supported in FS 2004, so it makes sense to build once in GMax rather than in FSDS first, then GMax not too long after. Any and all conversion techniques and ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance, Melo Fledgling 3-D aircraft designer. Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Found the answer to my own question if anyone is interested. There is a Plugin for FSDS (ver 1.5 or above) which allows conversion to *.dxf format which GMax will accept as an input. Worked like a charm. My project is in GMax now. The plugin can be found from a link in the freeflightdesign site in the Utilities section. I also found a good GMax tutorial on the web called "The Stupid Idiots' Guide to starting with gMax" By Hugh Shoults. This file can also be found by going to the freeflightdesign site and looking in the Tutorial section. Regards, Melo Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
